*Warning- this chapter contains strong language which might upset you*

Mara Athena hated the crowded places.

She never attended those parties. It was rare to see Mara Athena at the crowded places. "Ofc, I have to come to congratulate you" Mara smiled as Noah chuckled in satisfaction. "Congratulation, uncle. I wish you all the best in the future"

The young woman said as she smiled at the man. "Thank you, Mara" Noah chuckled lightly. "Where is Alek? I thought he was with you" Noah questioned and looked around to find his son. He knew that his son like this young woman. But now his son was nowhere to be found.

He thought his son would run towards this young woman and stay by her side like a glue. "He was with me just now. He just went to bring me some drinks" Mara spoke as Noah nodded in understatement. His son was faster than his thoughts.

"What's wrong, father?" Alek's voice interrupted the two who were looking for him. Noah turned around and smiled at his son. "Take care of your friend, Alek" he patted his son's shoulder and left the two at the place. "Here. Your favorite red wine"

Mara's eyes lit up at the sight of the glass of wine. "How do you know that this is my favorite?" the young woman took the glass and raised her eyebrow. She questioned in curiosity. "It is a secret" Alek smiled and shrugged. "Alright thank you, Alek"

Mara smiled and sipped the wine.

"Do you want cake? Or desserts?"

Alek questioned as he stood beside the young woman, not leaving her side just for a second. "Mmm, I will go take it by myself" Mara spoke as Alek furrowed his brows. "No, I will go take it for you" he stopped the young woman.

"Nah, it is fine. I will come back, just wait for me here" Mara patted Alek's shoulder, not wanting to look bossy. Alek sighed, not saying anything. He nodded and let the young woman go. "Wait for me here then" The young woman grinned and left.

Mara's steps were directing to the fountain of wine glasses and desserts. She bit her lower lip and gulped at the sight of the chocolate cake. Without waiting anymore, her hand reached to the chocolate cake quickly. She took a bite.

Her honey brown fox eyes sparkled in satisfaction. 'This is better than I thought' she smiled and placed the piece of cake onto the plate. But she furrowed her brows when she noticed the deep stare on her. She looked up at the place where she felt like someone was watching.

As Mara looked up at the place, her eyes locked with the pair of gold colored eyes which were staring back into her honey brown fox eyes. The young woman frowned, feeling familiar with the man's face. She kept staring back into the man's eyes fearlessly.

Slowly and slowly her eyes widened when she recognized the man. His raven hair and gold eyes were telling that he was the man who she met at the club. "Oh shit.." the young woman cursed under her breath, turning back to return to the place where Alek was waiting.

Mara stood beside Alek and looked down at the plate. Wanting to know the reason why that man was here. Her brain was telling her that the man was a business man. But Mara did not want to believe that. She squeezed her eyes in annoyance.

Alek looked down at the young woman with worries. "What's wrong?" he questioned with a frown. Why was she lowering her head as if she saw something she should not? Did something happen? The young woman looked up at Alek with a stone face.

"Who is that man?"

Mara raised her eyebrow at the man who was staring at her. She did not want point her finger at the man obviously like a five years old kid. Alek looked up at the man with furrowed eyebrows. "He is Ezekial Clyde" Alek answered and looked back at the young woman.
